Hardcover. Etat : Like New. First Edition. A firm and square hardback with sharp corners and strong joints, just showing a few very minor cosmetic rubs.

Now offered for sale at a very sensible price. N° de réf. du vendeur 211819

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Creativity is an integral part of human history, yet most studies focus on the modern era, leaving unresolved questions about the formative role that creativity has played in the past. This book explores the fundamental nature of creativity in the European Bronze Age. Considering developments in crafts that we take for granted today, such as pottery, textiles, and metalwork, the volume compares and contrasts various aspects of their development, from the construction of the materials themselves, through the production processes, to the design and effects deployed in finished objects. It explores how creativity is closely related to changes in material culture, how it directs responses to the new and unfamiliar, and how it has resulted in changes to familiar things and practices. Written by an international team of scholars, the case studies in this volume consider wider issues and provide detailed insights into creative solutions found in specific objects. This book explores the nature of creativity in a critical period of human history - the European Bronze Age - through developments in three key crafts - pottery, textiles, and metalwork. It will interest students and teachers of prehistory/archaeology, craft studies (especially textiles, metal, and pottery), as well as those interested in creativity. This item is printed on demand.
